Applications
Process industry: Biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry,
cosmetic manufacturing, food industry
Quick cleaning of measuring point, without residue
For gaseous and liquid aggressive media that are highly
viscous or crystallising, also in aggressive ambience
Special Features
Dry measuring cell, no transmission fluid
Flush, welded diaphragm
Suitable for SIP and CIP
Wetted parts and enclosing metallic components from
stainless steel
Scale ranges from 0 … 0.6 bar
Description
The model 432.55 pressure gauge was designed as an addition
to WIKA’s standard range of products in order to meet the special demands made
on process connections in the food, bio and pharmaceutical industries as well
as in the paints and dyes sector.
All wetted parts are from stainless steel and fully welded.
Due to the design of the gauge it is possible to use an
absolutely dry measuring cell, thus excluding a contamination of the medium
with transmission fluids that may occur on diaphragm seal systems in the case
of a damage to the diaphragm.
